This video is from Hillsdale College and is about transgender people and adults interference with children who are confused! It is absolutely criminal! There is no way you haven’t heard something about this conversation…….unless you live under a rock!


Why do you people base your life on crackpot videos??

Hillsdale College is a private conservative liberal arts college in Hillsdale, Michigan. It was founded in 1844 by abolitionists known as Free Will Baptists.

Nice fit for the trump troops..

Only an ignorant coward would think that anyone would fall for this excuse! You can’t address facts that’s why you use this excuse. She quoted actual verifiable facts from several years back and compared them to today! She presented fact after fact!…….. You care nothing about children and how adults use them. Continue in your world that is consumed with bitterness and hate for Trump and anyone that refuses to turn a blind eye to the problems that this administration is ignoring………and many times that they are causing! 👿

Thousands of young people are dying from fentanyl that is coming across our OPEN border. Migrants are being abused, murdered, women and children raped by the criminals mixed in with the innocent migrants, hundreds have drowned or died in hot trucks that are trafficked by the coyotes! Every time I have addressed any subject about the failures of this administration or the corruption that is being revealed, WITH SOURCES, you use the excuse that my sources aren’t acceptable by you! Of course you don’t accept them!……….you can’t dispute the truth!

You have turned your back on America and morality!

It is shameful that so many are only accepting the right wing trump loving lies which are put into the videos which some must watch all day long..as for the complaining of the trump troops.. they could get more attention if the every offered any sort of action to seek a solution.. but never does that happen the same old story about conservative.. bitch about everything.. but never attempt any fixing.. the fixing is in process, but it is not an overnight effort, it will take months, maybe years to get things in order.. for the border/imegration, I think a rewriting of the laws may be needed..

I am late with this reply, one of my younger grandsons spent the weekend with us and he and I spent time near all day building a 12 unit house for purple martins.. he did very well.. did lose attention and suffer a kickback on the table saw but no cut, did not get the blade, only a smake from the 2 ft board he was trimming.. He will be back soon and we sould be able to finish it in another weekend.. lot of fun seeing the satisfaction by young kids..his older brother and I did a number of things.. including building a small boat just under 8 ft long. (so he does not need to licence it) and he showed if off down on the lake, had a fine time.. now the remains of that boat are in the rose garden as a planter.. fun kids all of them.. Great grand kids also looking to stop in next week.. birthdays and wishing to party at grampa.. or really grammas.. lot of those family sessions all year long..

I would say your rant about my hating kids is one more thing you are so wrong about.. I will telll you that for a good number of years, I did not think I wanted any kids.. but when my little girl showed up.. I found that was a idea to toss away .. I have a great bunch of kids, grand kids, great grand kids.. and all..

AS for morality... Well as an old fart, I may be the last prude in America. but we all change over time..

And as usual you refuse to discuss the problems that any of us present that Americans are facing……….deflecting will no longer work! It is sad to think that until you are personally affected by the loss of a young member in your family because of a mistake that the young sometimes make by an accidental overdose of a fentanyl laced pill, you will ignore this massive killer!…….They have now found fentanyl rainbow fentanyl laced pills in Lego boxes! This administration is doing absolutely nothing to close our border and stop these drugs coming from China through Mexico! Kamala claims that our border is closed! I’m sure you’re as clueless as she is! Or, heaven forbid, you or a loved one be involved in the many violent and criminal acts that have increased all over America! Will there be an enforcement officer of any kind even available to come to help? I have no doubt that you will deny this and the reason why this is happening!…….OR blame it on Trump! If things don’t change and our economy crashes…….hang on to your britches! It’s going to be a bumpy ride! 👿

Let me know if you ever decide to put your selfish ideology and your hate aside and face reality! 😉

such blather from the trump troopsers..

So what do you wish to discuss? Maybe fentanyl? This has been around for a long time now.. just in Minnesota, I first heard about it probably 2015 or even earlier.. also just last week or so the law intercepted the largest shipment ever ever, at least in Minnesota.. and the candy look you mentioned, yes I saw that and consider it one of the most vile of actions ever by the scum who supply our druggies and create new users at the same time..

Why would anyone think I see drugs of any sort as a good thing.. not to confuse drugs and meds.. while meds can feed the problem as well they are in a very different situation..

I suppose my question is why you or anyone would think this is new and is the fault of Biden..

As for the border in case you wish to change subjects now, we have very different set of laws which governe that problem from the treatment of individuals to the action taken on the access itself.. and by the laws of the land at this time, the bourder is not "open"

So let us rant to our reps and demand the changes needed.. I have sent Amy Klobacher and recieved nice letter back and she has shown action to deal with several aspects of the drug problem. From cost and use of meds to the enormous demand for recreation drugs as they now seem to be called..

do you or the troops have any suggestion for these problems or is it only the usual flapping of the gums??

Let me know if any particular point burns your butt as it may well frost my neck as well.

Trump's wait in Mexico policy had the border under control. The amount of fentanyl is greatly reduced with closed borders along with with child and sex trafficking.

NO, trump keeping the refugees holed up in Mexico was not any kind of solution. It was only a delay and that delay is part of the mob we are dealing with today.. like pushing the cost down the road so we do not deal with the expense until some later date. Delaying the arrival of refugees is also not any kind of solution.

This is a nod to every vet on OPP and anywhere else.. Old we may be but we did the job..

No, people were waiting their turn like all the people from other countries who applied to come here " legally". And are you trying to say that there wasn't less trafficking under the wait in Mexico policy. And under that policy, we had the opportunity to "vet" who came in. PS, those mobs you reference, they quit coming to the border knowing the doors were closed. People wanted in so bad, they weren't willing to "hole" up indefinitely at the border.

This video is from PBS and is a report on fentanyl Twice as much fentanyl has been found crossing over the border in 2021 from 2020! TWICE as much in one year! So don’t pretend that it is not much worse under Biden! Stories from broken hearted loved ones that lost an unsuspecting victim! Kamala is ignoring this problem when she claims that our border is closed. So yes, Permie, it is Biden’s fault for not hitting this problem with everything he has!

https://youtu.be/xL7Z7uqzQZ8

Your refusal to admit this enormous problem at our border is beyond my understanding. I don’t know if you are being obstinate or you are just ignorant of what is going on in America! There are 80,000 people that have died this year from fentanyl. There has been 2 million illegals that have entered this country! This number has broken the record! Drugs, criminals, terrorists, and God only knows what kind of disease that they are bringing with them!

https://youtu.be/gLGhX3Fsl64

This is a report from El Paso and the problem that is causing the residents! The most recent problem is illegals from Venezuela. A report given to Homeland Security from Venezuela reports that prisoners from there have been released and is entering the US from Mexico coming across the river! That’s that closed border that Kamala claims that we have! 👿

https://youtu.be/1IIHisl7Q3g

Interviews with legal immigrants in the border towns describing the criminal influx from the illegal migrants flooding their town! Their business’s and their homes have been robbed and vandalized!

https://youtu.be/I1lm_YkTaJs

This video is a clip from “Outnumbered”……..4 ladies and a guest. It is on the violence in America. 77% of folks that were polled stated that violence was a major problem now! The Democrats are advocating Defund the Police, low cash bail, reduce prison population, abolish ICE……….the police are retiring, quitting, committing suicide, ……..I have no doubt that you will find a way to ignore, find an excuse, or to blame Trump for this! 🫣

https://youtu.be/H3GQiDo5nrw

This is another video that a black reporter from Fox addressed the increase of violence across America by asking Democrats and Republicans in Washington to comment on it! You won’t like it, of course! I have no doubt that you will do nothing more than insult the black reporter that lost his young brother from a drive be shooting and the Republicans who answered his questions! The Democrats would not even admit that there is a problem! As usual…………….Sounds familiar to your answers! Insult the source and ignore the problem!

https://youtu.be/u6qLpetplEc.
https://youtu.be/Kss4MvfYhOY

Two new stories on Joe and Hunter! But of course, you will claim Bad Source, lies, bla, bla, bla! The FBI and DOJ has covered the criminal activity of Hunter up for years! 👿

https://youtu.be/5zqyfXwpYm4

Can’t wait to hear your excuse for this one…….or is it just the Bad Orange Man’s fault? Joe promised when Carter was the President that America would never be dependent on any country for oil…….picture including! 😂 CNN, CNBC, and the National Review, all has stories criticizing Biden so it must be bad! LOL!


https://youtu.be/RhgEl7031aI

And just why does poor Ol’ Joe get away with all the BS? “Nobody f..ks with a Biden!” Well, except OPEC, North Korea, and China continually! Sounds like what a want-a-be dictator says……..or maybe just what the first 4 letters of DICKtator would say! 😉 Remember when Melanie was mocked for wearing heels when she boarded the plane going to Texas……but the media had nothing to say when Joe’s caretaker (Jill) did the same thing and showed up in heels in Florida! Oh well, what would the Biden’s do without the media? Right Permie!


https://youtu.be/yWrXGw5-VvcThis is one of my fav’s! 😉 A competition between Joe’s and Kamala’s ignorant remarks!……….AND, The “Kamala” Comedy Show is compared to clips from “The Veep” TV Comedy Show!……………….priceless! LOL!

I never ever said fentanly was not a dangerous drug.. it is the most deadly of all.. my remarks were why you seemed to be saying it was new.. it is not, been with us for years..


https://www.health.state.mn.us/news/pressrel/2022/drugod071422.html#:~:text=Many%20of%20the%20opioid%20overdose,a%20highly%20potent%20synthetic%20opioid.

State reports record drug overdose deaths in 2021
Increasing prevalence of fentanyl thought to be a contributing factor
State reports record drug overdose deaths in 2021 Increasing prevalence of fentanyl thought to be a contributing factor Minnesota public health officials reported a record number of overdose deaths in 2021, following an alarming pattern seen in many other states in recent years. According to a new report issued this week by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), most overdose deaths in 2021 were associated with fentanyl, a powerful drug that continues to become more common across the country.

The 1,286 overdose deaths reported to MDH last year represented a 22% increase from the 2020 total.

Many of the opioid overdose deaths involved synthetic opioids, including fentanyl. These deaths increased from 560 in 2020 to 834 in 2021. Through analysis of death certificates, MDH found that fentanyl was involved in 90% of all deaths involving opioids. Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid. A dose as small as three grains of rice can be lethal. Fentanyl is becoming more common in illicit drugs, even laced in other drugs like cocaine or methamphetamine.
